As we’ll remind you a few more times over the next ten days, DCist Exposed continues to run at the Gallery at Flashpoint until March 7. See it Tuesday through Saturdays, 12 to 6 p.m. While we’d love to encourage you to attend our panel discussion, Emerge Exposed, next Tuesday, it seems we just hit capacity this morning. Thanks to those of you who RSVP’d early.

>> If you got locked out of Emerge Exposed, have no fear, Transformer Gallery has another fantastic panel discussion going on next Tuesday. Part of their Summer Camp programming, What We Want Is Free: An Exploration of the Field of Non-profit Visual Arts Organizations should be chock full of useful info for anyone interested in small budget and alternative art programming. At the Goethe-Institut, 6:30 to 8 p.m., free.

>> The preview for the always anticipated Washington Project for the Arts Annual Art Auction is tonight. You had to have RSVP’d by Monday, but if you really want to go it’s worth giving them a call. (Update: They still have room; see Adam’s comment below.) See the available art, hear curator talks, and see Jack Rasmussen, Director and Curator of American University’s Katzen Art Museum, receive the Alice Denney Award for Contemporary Art. You can still get tickets for the auction on March 7.

>> Speaking of the WPA, they announced their new Executive Director this week, Lisa J. Gold. Gold has a long career supporting the arts in New York City, most recently as Public Relations and Marketing Director at The Drawing Center. She takes over for Kim Ward, who ran the WPA for the last five years, including during their split from the Corcoran. Read more about the transition here.

>> Melissa Ichiuji is back at Irvine Contemporary this weekend, with her uncomfortably thought-provoking and sometimes clever dolls in Lesser Madonnas. Reception Saturday, 6 to 8 p.m. A few blocks down 14th Street NW, see Graham Caldwell’s gorgeous, intricate glassworks in Light Field View at G Fine Art, also Saturday, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

>> There are a bunch of new museum exhibitions opening this week. Today the major retrospective of Louise Bourgeois opens at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. See 120 of her works, including the massive Crouching Spider, which greets you outside the entrance. We’ve already taken a peek at the exhibit and will have more for you later today.
